Rain Rain
by I hope it stops raining soon, this is getting old. It's supposed to be nice for the next few days, but then I have a feeling next week is going to be crappy with that tropical storm/hurricane on its way up here.
In other news, my brother gets married on monday!

And, in other local news, Tyler has his first school field trip *someday*. They are going to Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Taliesin', which is literally right down the road from us. Here's a link:
http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Taliesin_West.html
It's pretty cool, because they are learning things right now in class that have a lot to do with archituecture, and other cool stuff. Very relevant field trip. For second graders, hahaha.
sounds like a fun field trip.. but if i was tyler, i would only be interested in what the gift shop had. haha
nah, actually when i was tyler's age i wanted to be an architect, so maybe i would have been into it
hey K, just as a word of caution, it may not be the greatest idea to be putting the DAY and LOCATION where your kid along with other people's kids is going to be, on the internet, which is full of predators, and you do not know who is reading this site
and yeah sure i know museums get busloads of kids going on field trips every day but ya know, just be careful, you just never know
^^^^^True story^^^^^^^ One of my adverse clients was a serious nut who gave my client pics of "their baby" when asking for child support. Then she renegged and said she never had a baby... long story short, the pics were of a baby and family in england. She had pics from when he was born to when he was about 2, eating, walking, talking, smiling, etc. While the kid wasn't in danger, it's incredibly creepy. The lesson is, the internet is public, and any nut out there can read what you type.
Man, now I feel like a bad parent...between last week and this week, I'm beginning to rethink this whole "Mother of the Year" award I was about to give myself. :)
Didn't even think about it. Got caught up in the excitement of the whole field trip thing. My bad. Good lookin' out, Kam....thanks. :)
Thanks for the editing job, too. :)
haha no prob
and you're not a bad parent
And a funny side note about this topic....I was telling my mom today where they were going on the field trip, and she didn't hear me very well, so she said, "Oh, Telluride? How nice. That will be fun."
Um, yeah, mom....we're taking the kids to Colorado....for a day.
So much for 'healthy eating starts Monday.'
I had cake for breakfast. WHY DO I DO THAT????
Uh...You are like 2% bodyfat. You'd need to eat a whole cake in one sitting for it to make a difference. LOL!
But I haven't been working, and aside from service, I've been off my feet all day just doin' the 'housewife' thing. I have really poor eating habits to begin with, so if I don't get on a regimen of eating somewhat decent, by the time I turn 27 (I'll be 26 a week from today), I'll have packed on major poundage, and feel like crap.
That's my theory anyways.
I need to go back to my old eating style. Last year I was ripped. Then I got the kids full time last September and it has been hard to work out regularly and I've been eating poorly, so I packed on a little.
So my in-laws came over for dinner last night....and surprised us with a brand new patio set, as an early anniversary gift!!
I love my family. And presents, hahaha.
that's great! gotta love gifts, of all sorts :)
aw, that's awesome!
Ok, so which would be a better idea in the long run....a baby, or another puppy? 'Cause if you think about it, for a short period of time, they both require a lot of work, hahaha.
Yousa crazy chicko! No more kids! A puppy can be trained in a year. A kid takes a lifetime. LOL!
Yeah, but puppies are harder to put diapers on, and they poop on the floor, hahaha.
yeah... i think this question has a very clear answer...
I'm guessing you're gonna say neither, hahaha.
Sounds about right. Get a hamster or a goldfish. haha...
Ew, hamsters are stinky....I grew up owning a few....and all my goldfish dieed, hahaha.
I'm getting Application Errors every 2 seconds when i click on musings
no big deal just wanted to let the powers that be know! haha
Some friends from Ohio come into town today!!!! Granted, they are staying with Adam's cousin, but I don't mind, because I'll still get to see them. :)
so frustrating.
They won't let me leave and requested I cancelled my canada trip.
Now i'm stuck going to Reston, Virginia? a week later.
ughh what could there possibly be there that is interesting.
at least in canada i can play with moosen
Who, work? That stinks....why won't they let you go?
dude. STICK IT TO THE MAN
Flock of moosen? Many much..many much moosen.
this is like the best ever: watch it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGAvxEKH3pk
dude, that was mad funny
i don't know if anyone caught any of that 9/11 movie last night on ABC, the conclusion is gonna be on tonight
i caught about i guess the last half hour, and i was FLABERGHASTED not by the story line but by Harvey Keitel's face
he looks like he had some major plastico surgeria and it does not look good
if you happen to catch the movie tonight just look at how weird his eyes look... oh boy he's totally going in Mickey Rourke/Billy Bob/Kenny Rogers territory
this is what he used to look like...... and if i could find a photo of what he looked like in the movie last nite it woudl be cool but i can't find a good enough closeup
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/80/Harveykeitel.jpg
ohhh, nooo. not you too, harvey! i love you just the way you are.
additionally, have you seen any pics of Mickey Rourke in that new Elmore Leonard adaptation, Killshot? ohhh, man. lemme find a pic:
ha i knew you'd respond to this five-oh! yeah watch a minute of that highly speculative mini-series tonight just to see what his eyes look like
he looks.. ugh
Man, I had some WEIRD dreams last night...craaaaaazy. And they were the kind where you wake up not totally sure if they were dreams or not...I felt like the stuff had really happened, and had that panicky feeling.
Um....so do you think it's bad to accidentally swallow one of those Crest Whitestrips in your sleep? 'Cause I did.
yep, you are gonna die... gimmie all ur money
Here it is....all TWO DOLLARS of it, hehehe.
So for the last few weeks and then the next two (ARGH) we're having the roof on our building here @ work done. N E Wayze everyday at a certain time the air gets shut off to reduce the fumes. The thing is it doen't really reduce the fumes it sort of makes them worse since without circulation we're just dwelling in the heat and the fumes get stronger.
We all leave here lightheaded and queasy but, they say the fumes aren't toxic so it doesn't warrant being sent home =(
Our neighbors from VA are SO the ambiguously gay duo.
SUPER!
haha i know. i mean they are really really nice and whenever they are up they invite us over and stuff-but i'm somewhat confused. and andrew is somewhat frightened. haha
ok so i've heard like 20 patriotic, go america songs today...going to get old FAST...
Todd, season 3 of arrested development is out now..I SWEAR!!! i know this because i finally bought it!
I KNOW! I can't WAIT to see it!
I'm addicted to Ebay again....crap.
Okay well, not a huge group this morning and neither of the two calls I wanted to see were home + no afternoon group today =( Hope there's a good group tomorrow after the meeting. Off to buy groceries @ WHOLEFOODS,TRADER JOES, and to buy lunch somewhere toodles
;)
Mmm... Trader Joe's. I used to get lunch there almost everyday when there was one across the street from where I worked. I love their banana crisps.
Uh oh we'll have to go there when you get back here or I come out there...we'll stuff our faces like two fatties =P
Have you ever heard of this company Double Rainbow??? I think it's based outta San Francisco they have really awesome non-dairy ice cream but, also make normal ice cream. I started to wonder about this Double Rainbow from San Francisco...does this mean Xtra ghey LOL!
What state do you live in? can you buy wine at your trader joes? We heard that their is good cheap wine at trader joes.
New Jersey, um I'm not sure for some reason I think there may be boxed wine, lol.
2 buck chuck! i've heard about this too. although i think it's like 3 or 4 buck chuck in NJ.
So I found another tarantula last night, right outside my back patio door. It was HUUUUUUUGE!! Looks like it's time to have my father-in-law come over and spray for critters again.....I hate creepy crawlies.
I can stand almost any bug I LUV Lightning bugs catching them and then letting them walk over my hand(tickles)! LOL, BUUUUUUUUUT....and that's a HUGE BUUUUUT* I am ridiculously afraid of spiders or anything that resembles a spider. Over the long weekend I was with this little Cuban sister and this big ol' fat juicy monster spider dropped down along side me. I screamed and lept from the porch, the sister did to but, she was like "QUE, QUE ES?!?" When she found out it was ONLY a spider she cracked up....apparently in Cuban they have spiders with bodies the size of your hand and they get into the houses and regularly drop down on the mosquitonets they sleep under. EWE
*yes I used the words HUGE and BUT in the same sentence not same as BUTT...don't even lie people you know you were thinkin it =P
Family night....gotta figure out what movie to rent, and what to pick up for dinner....OOOH!! Dinner is figured out...Pei Wei ALL the way!!!!

I spent WAAAAAY too much money today. We've been avoiding buying decorations for the house, (because we sold most of ours in the garage sale we had two months ago) until we had a little spending money.
Well, last night, Adam came across a check that had been written to us, that was a payment for money we had loaned out. He got the check like, 2 months ago and totally forgot about it. So I got to do a bit of shopping today, and now my house is gonna be pretty!!! :)
Baja Fresh is the best place to eat EVER....hands down. Yum.
OH YEAH!!! i love the chicken nachos...SOOOOO YUM!!!!
what'd you have?
The numero uno....it's cheese quesadillas, flautas, and beans and rice....same thing I ate there...yesterday, hahaha.
looks really good.. i haven't been to one, but i want to try it
cheese quesadillas, .... 1200 calories, 78g of fat, 2140mg sodium... o_O
seems like all their stuff is pretty crazy. hehe. MMMMMMM
Hahaha....yeah, even the light-looking food is up there, haha.
I don't know if they have them back east, because I never saw one until I came west. But if you guys make the trip out here, we're SO going....it's my new favorite place.
i just saw my life flash before my eyes. I was running upstairs to delivery something to someone and i was so in my own little world when my flip flop fell off and i tripped going up the stairs....i did everything to keep my balance....it was so funny and freaky!
I'm always afraid I'll chip a tooth doing that. :P

No more causing yourself bodily harm!!!! :)
Kinda funny. As I was sitting on the shuttlebus at school yesterday two girls lost one of their flip flops getting on the bus! Weird. Glad you didn't die!

Oh man...I aggravated my knee pretty good today. I pulled into the parking lot at work this morning and saw the coffee truck parked on the other side of the building. So when I got out of my car I ran around the building to get to it and towards the end I started hobbling. It's pretty sore now. I better get it checked out.
FREE LUNCHES ROCK
YOU ROCK
pst come back to wow my fine feathered asian friend....
You suck. Apparently, the good people at panera were offended when I asked for dressing on the side of my salad, so they didn't include any dressing at all. They also used feta which tastes less than fresh. So basically I spend $7.40 on a chunk of baguette and an iced tea.
You need to go back to work at M&M so I can have free candy!
Yeah I got one too. I had an assortment of apps, Filet Mignon, and NY cheesecake. I'm ready to burst now...

Yay for friday! Also, yay for short weeks!
ALSO: YAY
Does anyone have a cd-player unit for a car that they are trying to get rid of? I don't feel like paying alot of money for one.
i have the one that came in my 2000 mazda 626 you are welcome to have
Oh yeah. Will it fit in a 96 Acura Integra? How much do you want for it?
haha. so funny you bring up the integra. i had a cd player in my 95 integra, took it out to put in a sony one, and gave the integra cd player to a girl in my hall who JUST got DF'd very recently. so basically, i would have totally covered you, but now i can't.
the mazda radio is yours for $10. or a frosty heiniken
Sold! How do I get it from you?
I think since she got DF'd, you have a right to break into her car and take it. hahaha... Actually I shouldn't joke about that, it's a shame she got DF'ed.
anyone here a fan of the show Get Smart?

Hahaha.....that's the general opinion, hahah.
Yes, she's one of those girls with a million dollar smile.
And she never even had braces.....makes me so angry, hahaha!
Yeah, I went through that. Braces for 2+ years.
I'll find out. The first pic is obviously Tyler....that's when we stopped at a rest stop in Texas.

Hey, ok, so how do I upload pics from my computer onto here? They aren't on the web, but I really want to show you guys some of our recent pics.
i was talking to this guy, caesar, at my job - get this - he's never heard of 24, EVER! He didn't know anything about it! that's amazing. So i did a wikipedia search for him. did you know jack gives out his real cell phone number in the show? you can call the number, and leave him a message .. not that i would do this, i'm just saying ..
I've never watched one episode and I know what 24 is. That guy must live in Lala Land.
oh man this guy i work with just dropped a 6 pack of frosty heiniken off at my desk for fixing his computer ... wow ... this afternoon will be fun!!
where are you, I'm coming over!! LOL!
ramsey, NJ ... take 287N to 17South
According to Mapquest you are 42 minutes away. Shoot!
EVERYBODY WANTS SOOOOOOME. I WANT SOME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Whoa....Whoa....Talk to your wife about that. LOL!
I would like some Taco Bell too....that is what we're talking about, right?
Well, he's quoting a Van Halen song. I don't think David Lee Roth had the munchies for Mexican food when he uttered those words. haha....
yep... thats what the song means to me... so ladee dah
Hey Gina, when are WE planning on bringing sexy back?
I love Justin Timberlake, hahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAA OMG
yeah i love that song...my friends and i just have so much fun dancing to it...so many memories!! LOL
I dowloaded it onto my iPod last night, along with tons of other new songs. Can't wait to work out to the tunes!!!!
Tyler saw JT's performance on the VMA's, and now he wants to learn to dance like that, hahaha.
seriously that was a great performance....that boy can dance for being a white boy! lol
i have it downloaded too. when i hear promiscuous girl, it totally reminds me of your visit...LOL
That could be a two-way comment, hahahhaa!!!
But seriously, I agree. He's pretty fly for a white guy. :)
I need a punching bag in my cubicle....What a horrendous day!!
uh oh! want to talk about it?
It's just one of those stupid days.
1. The kids were a pain in the butt this morning.
2. I tried covering Jake's school books with those slip on covers and ripped the cover trying.
3. Traffic sucks.
4. I got no sleep last night.
5. I get to work and the engineers are cranky and ready to quit leaving me to believe this division of my company that I work for will be dissolved eventually.
6. Someone left some drawings and other documents I made, on their desk for a month. Now I have to sort through it and write down a verification procedure for something that is not fresh in my mind.
7. My knee hurts.
I could probably write down 87 more things wrong with this day, but why bother. At least there is a meeting tonight. Recharge time.
awww im sorry. wanna cookie?
A cookie...LOL! You gonna Fedex it?
I always feel better after I've had a really good lunch - maybe you could treat yourself to something you don't normally get instead of the normal sandwich/soup/boring stuff. And get yourself something sweet for dessert, even if it's fruit. That always makes me feel better.
Sounds good. Hmmm...What do I crave today? Must give it some thought.
seriously it helps! the girls and i went to lunch yesterday and after split this huge brownie sundae.....AW MAN, lemme tell you, it made the rest of the crazy afternoon all warm and fuzzy! LOL
go get a breath of fresh air outside and say a prayer. those kind of days aren't easy, but at least they always end.
I'm sorry man....those types of days are no fun. I agree with web-toed....get yourself a big fat sammich or something, or eat light and spoil yourself with dessert. Always helps.
It's funny, I remember how hard it was with 2 people raising kids and going to work and doing the chores at home. When it's 1....forget it, it's almost impossible.
I do not miss those days at all. You should hire a nanny.....or be like Britney and hire a MANNY! Hahaha...I just love that word.
Yeah, I was thinking that actually. But I'm sure they cost alot.
Yeah....therein lies the problem.
I think the only people that can afford nannies are the ones making 6 figure salaries.
if you include the decimal point, I'm there, hahaha.
haha...We're talking whole numbers my dear.
Aw....never mind, hahaha.
aw man, im sorry!!! vent to us...we feel ya bruthaman!
busy day for everyone? so quiet on here...
I just finished a horrendous project that I never thought I'd finish by the end of the day. Now I can take a deep breath...
look at you all ahead of your own schedule!
I'm going to a graveside service for my grandmother today. Fun! (Not.)
oh i'm sorry *hugs* when did your grandmother pass?
You get hugs today. :( Hope things go as well as can be expected.
They did. But the real test comes on Saturday when we have the service at the Kingdom Hall. My mom and dad will be coming back for that one. I don't know how I'm going to take seeing my mom break down.
Awww! I'm so sorry. Maybe the best thing you can do or say is just be there and hold her hand.
Oh I'll be doing more than that. I just don't want to break down myself...
Sometimes it's ok to break down. We'll all be thinking about you and praying for you! ****HUGS**** :)
:( You are allowed to be quiet if you need to.
Sorry to hear this sweetie =(
Thanks, everyone. :)
I just had the biggest brain fart. I was copying this doocument and when I looked down I could swear the screen said 100% SILK...when I looked again I saw that it actually said 100% SHRINK. WOW
hahah that is great!
I was talking with my friend's nephew about dinosaurs and told him I read an article in one of our magazines that said Jehovah might have created them to fertilize the earth. He got super excited and told me that Jehovah might have to bring them back to help us make the earth green again in the Paradise. We stopped talking about dinosaurs for a while and were trying to see who was better at turning fake laughs into real ones.
All of a sudden he was like I KNOW A DINOSAUR JEHOVAH COULD USE FOR DEMOLITION. Then he described a Stegosauraus and said since they can smash rocks with their tail they could help us knock down buildings. Kids just never stop thinking.
hahaha awww i love kids! they are so cute in their thinking! there was this one little boy who used to go to my friends bookstudy (a while back) and he was just the most hyper funniest kid...anyway the conductor would ALWAYS include the kids and ask them special questions. well he once asked the kids "so who do you want to meet in paradise" & all the other kids are all saying job, noah, moses...etc. then the funny little boy screams out "I WANNA SEE THE LION KING" LOL
haha that's great
Is 1-800-BUYAWIFE still a valid number? LOL!
Man trying to get the kids ready for school and then for work is nuts!! Now both of my kids are in school. My head hurts as we speak...
